| Revel Salons and Adcom amp, good match? Look for some Mark Levinson amps. | |
| The Harbeth phenomenon As an amatuer speaker builder I have come to the conclusion that Harbeths are the anti-Magico. The later are rigid and resonance free to the exxtreme - flat frequency curves, nuetral, nothing but the facts Ma'am wraped in a magnificent wood and al... | |
| Isolation Feet for Blu-ray Player? Three Hardwood blocks. Experiment with position under the player. | |
| I need help - Better DAC or NEW CD player? Demianm,Just so there is no confusion, I think the Cambridge 840 is one of the best sounding and most flexible CD players available for the money - any criticisms leveled are in the absolute sense comparing it to reference players costing many dol... | |
| Bookshelf speakers with the good bass. If you haven't already, post a separate thread on the Fritzspeakers Carbon 7. Several Agoners own them and will probably respond to a thread with the Carbon 7 name in the subject line. | |
| I need help - Better DAC or NEW CD player? ??? A really better one? The 840C is better. Nothing for $1000 is better, or likely just as good.The DACs I directed you to earlier are "really better" than the Rotel, but they cost $2K to $2.5K.I can think of other CD players for about $1500 that... | |
| I need help - Better DAC or NEW CD player? That has the capability to act as an external DAC for other sources if necessary, or just a good $1000 +/- CD player? | |
| I need help - Better DAC or NEW CD player? Yes, I have heard it. It is very good at its price point. For comparison, most cheaper Cambridge players have a forward sonic balance with fairly flat frequency curve, meaning that bass and treble are not attenuated in favor of mid range tones, as... | |
| I need help - Better DAC or NEW CD player? Are you in a position to go listen to the 840 and compare it to other CDPs or DACs? It didn't sound "thin" to me. | |
| I need help - Better DAC or NEW CD player? Regarding Sufentinal's comment:"...unless you get one of those relatively rare CD players that does have digital inputs."This is why I recommended the Cambridge 840. It has an excellent transport, power supply and chassis, better DAC's and electro... | |
| I need help - Better DAC or NEW CD player? The rest of your system is quite good. I think that you want to get as good of a source as you can and as good as the DacMagic is - and it will do a better job than the DAC in the RC-1072 - with the budget you are suggesting you can do better. The... | |
| MFSL Gold Little Feat Funny, I was outside the West Seattle Easy Street records this weekend pawing through the boxes of dollar disks, half listing to the music producers on the corner behind me dropping names and picking the breakfast out of their teeth, when I pulled... | |
| budget towers? $500/pair I had some older Wharfedale Diamond 8.1's in a second system, and liked them for what they cost me. They do a couple of things very well - rich and tuneful midrange, and good spatial presentation. Their biggest sins are sins of omission - a slight... | |
| MFSL Gold Little Feat Richard, I am a big Little Feat fan, and I might agree with you on their later records, but the first three are rough - even in the original vinyl product as I recall. And I think the original CD re-master of Dixie Chicken is downright awful, whic... | |
| budget towers? $500/pair I agree with Tpreaves and Tompoodie. Also check out these small towers: Aperion Audio Intimus 4T Tower Speaker, Boston Acoustics CS 226, Energy RC-30 tower. |
